The Song Of 2017 That Best Represents Each Zodiac Sign

What's your favorite 2017 song? Have you ever wondered if a song became your favorite because it represents something about your zodiac sign's personality traits? If you think about it, it might.

I think we can all agree that while 2017 hasn’t been the best year what with all of the nasty politics, natural disasters, and astrological events and everything in between, there have been a lot of good music to help us cope.

And all of the new songs that have been released this past year have all come out at just the right time.

Whether you were looking for a banger to blast in your car with the windows down, surrounded by your friends during the summer, or you were dealing with an especially bad break up, there always seemed to be a new song out that went perfectly with your current mood. Sometimes it matched exactly what was predicted in your daily horoscope.

You could say this same thing for every year if you wanted, but there were a lot of new artists in 2017 that blew us all away with their amazing hits (I’m talkin’ Post Malone, Dua Lipa, and Khalid).

And I have to say, new music from your favorite artists is one thing, but new music from a new artist is totally different.

Because now that they’ve proven that their music is just as amazing as all your other faves, now you have so many more rappers and singers to keep up with as they put out more and more music; maybe this year, but certainly in years to come.

And if you’re like me, you have a lot of songs to get through from the AMAs best of the best list before the year ends.

But have you ever thought about which of these awesome new songs for this year best represent you? No, I don’t mean how Ed Sheeran sings all of those love songs and it feels like he’s singing them to you.

I mean which 2017 song you’re most like, based on your zodiac sign. A lot of the artists that came out with new songs this year are very different from one another, and their songs might just be more “you” than you think.

If you’re a free spirit who loves to party, Camila Cabello’s Havana might be perfect for your zodiac sign.

If you’re more of a conversational personality, Kendrick Lamar or Childish Gambino might be more similar to your astrological personality.

But don't just take it from me, read on to find out which 2017 song you are, based on your horoscope and then enjoy the song we added to each sign (again, of course).

ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

Bodak Yellow— Cardi B

This song is all about making moves, getting money, and not slowing down for anyone, which is exactly what Aries is all about. Plus, Cardi B has climbed the ladder of success and put out a song that was not only catchy but also incredibly popular, which is what Aries has been trying to do this whole time. If there’s anyone for Aries to look up to, it’s Cardi B.

Besides wanting to be a star, Aries also wants to show the world that she can get everything she wants out of life by putting in the hard work and trusting herself, which is exactly what Cardi B did, too. And if success looks like being on the cover of glossy magazines, having an incredible wardrobe that she can pay for herself, and a huge career ahead of her, Aries is in.

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)

Redbone— Childish Gambino

Childish Gambino doesn’t play around when it comes to music, which is why this song is both incredibly woke and already a classic. And just like Taurus, there really isn’t anything else quite like it out there, making it impossible to duplicate.

Childish Gambino and Taurus are similar in that they both aren’t afraid to speak their minds and do their own thing, even if not everyone is a fan (although, how could you not be a fan?).

The beat is sultry and smooth, which is the perfect way to describe Taurus and her playlist for the bedroom. But beyond the bedroom, Taurus wants to make an impression on everyone who meets her; to be the person they can’t get off of their mind. And since it was released, Redbone has been on the radio and in everyone’s heads and is still one of the best songs in 2017.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)

Young Dumb & Broke— Khalid

If anyone knows how hard it is to be an adult, it’s Gemini, which is why this song is the perfect anthem for her. It’s all about, but making time for fun and worrying about being an adult later. And if there’s one thing Gemini loves, it’s having fun with her friends without a care in the world. Plus, any opportunity for her to just enjoy life and relax without worrying about a thing, and she’s all over it.

Young Dumb & Broke reminds Gemini that she’s still young and still has plenty of time to do dumb stuff because when she’s older, these are going to be the memories that matter most. Gemini is still figuring out life and the future for herself, which can definitely be stressful, so having a song like Young Dumb & Broke say exactly what she feels makes her feel so much better about not having her future all planned out.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

Feels— Calvin Harris

This song emulates Cancer so well because it’s all about love, but with a good beat and catchy lyrics, which is exactly how Cancer would want to talk about love and feelings to the people she’s interested in. Cancer knows that she can be a little too much to handle when it comes to talking about her feelings, but if the handful of artists in this song can do it, so can she.

It’s a lighthearted song that makes you want to get up and dance, and besides the fact that it’s a universally-liked song, it’s also a universal anthem for all situations Cancer’s life. Whether she’s getting ready to go out with friends, cruising in her car with the windows down, or just spending a lazy day at home, this song is the one that she relates to most and is pretty much Cancer in song form.

LEO (July 23 - Aug 22)

Rockstar — Post Malone

This song is everything that Leo hopes to be in life someday. She was obviously born for the limelight, so having a song like Rockstar to remind her that if she works hard and makes it all count, she can be like Post Malone living it up like a rockstar. Leo has always been a hardworking person and she knows that if she ever does want to be famous, she has to keep pushing through.

One thing that Leo loves most about the life of rich and famous people is the lavish lifestyle she can have. Post Malone sings about all of the things that come with celebrity, which is all Leo cares about, even if her tastes aren’t the same as his. All she cares about is being able to have the experience that he does, being famous, popular, and most importantly, rich.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Green Light— Lorde

Virgo and this new song by Lorde are similar in that they are both a healthy combination of playful and confrontational. You can’t deny that Lorde tells it like it is in her song and, like Virgo, she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Of course, just because this song is a little different from Lorde’s older work doesn’t mean it isn’t still classic Lorde. And Virgo is all too familiar with how important it is to stay true to yourself.

Green Light is about growing and learning more about yourself, life, and love, which is something that Virgo has been working on doing her whole life. She always seems to find new experiences to be a part of, even if they don’t always end positively. But, like Lorde in her new song, Virgo appreciates good and bad experiences because it helps her grow into the person she wants to be.

LIBRA (Sept 23 - Oct 22)

Feel It Still— Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man’s newest song is a total hit; not just because it’s got a dance beat, but also because it’s just straight-up fun – much like Libra. No, she doesn’t have a dancey beat following her wherever she goes, but she is a lot of fun; just ask her friends. And while others might be fun because they’re different or because they’re wild, Libra is just a classic, good person to be around. Kind of like how this song is a classic hit.

This song is good for any situation, which Libra appreciates. She might be getting ready for work or getting ready to go out with friends, and having a song that’s versatile for both situations is perfect for her. Plus, tried and true things (like a popular song) are what help Libra keep that balance she likes having so much in her life.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

Sorry Not Sorry— Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato always puts out good music, and this newest song of hers is no exception. If a song about being a bad ass and loving yourself doesn’t describe every part of Scorpio, then nothing will. Sorry, Not Sorry is all about not apologizing for being the person you want to be without apology, which is something that Scorpio has been about forever.

This song could also be considered an anthem for confidence, which Scorpio doesn’t really need any more of, but it does help to be reminded that you can handle anything life throws your way. Demi Lovato knows that better than anyone else, which makes her someone Scorpio can look up to, not just admire her through her songs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 19)

Havana — Camila Cabello

Sometimes, you just want to listen to a song that is pure fun without any really complicated or deep emotions. This song by Camila Cabello is one of those songs and it’s perfect for Sagittarius. Havana is sexy and catchy, and it makes Sagittarius want to get up and dance. When she’s looking for a song that’s perfect for her always-chill mood and can add to the atmosphere of a party, this is the one she’ll always choose.

On almost any given occasion, Sagittarius’ mood is bright and exciting because she knows that enjoying life is more important than anything else. And Camila Cabello’s new song reminds her of that. Plus, travel and exploring are also incredibly important to her, and a song like this makes her dream of all the places she’s loved and left part of herself in – maybe even in Havana!

CAPRICORN (Dec 20 - Jan 19)

DNA — Kendrick Lamar

Capricorn and Kendrick Lamar’s new song go together with the peanut butter and jelly. She likes speaking her mind about topics that may be a little (or a lot) touchy for some, which is exactly what he does in his own songs. Kendrick Lamar is a consistently good artist and, in Capricorn’s life, consistency is always key. So these two are definitely vibing on the same wavelength here.

DNA is confrontational and smart, two qualities Capricorn strives for, and Kendrick’s message is amplified through his music video for the song. And if the similarities in this song and in Capricorn aren’t enough for you, I’m sure she would love to pick DNA apart for you and school you on some politics. Plus, and we can all relate to this, she loves a good song in general and DNA is definitely a banger.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

XO Tour Llif3— Lil Uzi Vert

If there’s anyone who can be both popular and totally different from everyone else, it’s Aquarius… and Lil Uzi Vert. His song features a little bit of everything, which is kind of like Aquarius’ personality. And if Lil Uzi himself isn’t Aquarius personified, his song might be. It’s definitely a unique song – there’s really nothing like it out there – but it’s also a song that defines this generation.

The lyrics and the beat, along with the fact that Lil Uzi isn’t your typical rapper, all combine to create a song that is impactful and defining a generation. And if you’ve ever met Aquarius, then you know her main goal in life is to impact and define the world with her work – whatever that work may be. If she’s ever looking for inspiration about where to start, Lil Uzi Vert is a good person to reference.

PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

New Rules — Dua Lipa

Pisces is in that middle ground in life where she wants to be in a relationship, but she doesn’t want it to define her. And sometimes, she makes the same mistakes with the same exes because she can’t seem to move on. Dua Lipa’s amazing song can definitely help with that, starting with telling Pisces to stop giving into the same guys who just want to use her and ditch her.

New Rules is about love and learning how to make better decisions for yourself, which is exactly what Pisces needs to hear when she starts crushing on someone new (or old). This song is also about reminding Pisces that she doesn’t need a man to be happy, as long as she has her girls to keep her from making the same mistakes twice. Plus, it’s super catchy and fun, which Pisces can never resist in a song.
